1 DIRECTION DU DEVELOPPEMENT DURABLE (SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT) CO 2 INFORMATION FOR TRANSPORT SERVICES GENERAL METHODOLOGY VERSION DATED 2015 June 11 th 1. CALCULATION METHODOLOGY A. How to estimate the carbon footprint for your journey 1. Multiply the distance travelled by the average amount of CO 2 emitted per traveller per kilometre according to the type of train you take: - The distance is taken from the kilometric databases for the rail lines, - SNCF has four types of trains: TGV, Intercités, TER and Transilien; the type of train you use depends on your journey and departure time, - For each type of train, the average amount of CO 2 emitted per kilometre is calculated each year by dividing the energy consumption for the previous year (applying a CO 2 emission factor according to the type of energy) by the number of passengers carried for the previous year and the distance they travelled. The following formula is used: (Electricity consumption x CO 2 emission factor for electricity for transport use + Diesel consumption x diesel emission factor) / Passengers x km = Emission for a passenger by type of train expressed in grams of CO 2 /km The CO 2 emission for your journey is therefore: Journey distance x CO 2 emission per kilometre for a passenger on this type of train 2. If you need to use several types of train to make your journey (e.g. taking a TGV then changing onto a TER), the CO 2 emission for your journey is the sum of the emissions for your TGV journey and the emissions for your TER journey The CO 2 emission for your journey is therefore: (journey distance by TGV x CO 2 emission per kilometre for a TGV passenger) + (journey distance by TER x CO 2 emission per kilometre for a TER passenger) 3. If you are a season ticket holder or if SNCF does not know how many journeys are actually made by the passenger, the information is sent to you in the form of the emission for a passenger by type of train expressed in grams of CO 2 /km as given on the website: The method used by SNCF complies with the methodology guide published by the French government for CO 2 information for transport services. This guide can be consulted at: 1/5

2 B. additional information In accordance with article 13 of French decree No , SNCF provides the following additional information on the method of calculation and energy sources: - SNCF is engaged in the activity of passenger rail transport, - The values used for energy consumption and the number of passengers carried are of level 3. This means they are average values calculated by type of transport (in our case the types of train - TGV, Intercités, TER and Transilien), - The consumption used is the total energy consumption for the previous year, including line losses and all empty journeys, - We use the following energy sources: o o Electricity for transport use with an emission factor of 53 gco 2 /kwh Non-road diesel with an emission factor of 3.07 kgco 2 /Litre These emission factors are laid down by the order of 10 April 2012 implementing Decree No of 24 October 2011 concerning CO 2 information for transport services 2. EMISSIONS FOR A PASSENGER TRAVELLING ONE KILOMETRE A. Emissions for SNCF passengers in 2015*: Type of train Intercités 11.8 gco 2 TGV, Lyria, idtgv, OUIGO 3.2 gco 2 Transilien / RER 6.4 gco 2 TER 29.2 gco 2 *based on energy consumption (Source: Réseau de transport d électricités (Rte), 2015) and 2014 passenger figures B. Emissions for passengers on SNCF s international trains in 2015 : Sources: Type of train Thalys 11.6 gco 2 Eurostar 11.2 gco 2 Elipsos 27 gco 2 Gala 12 gco 2 Alleo 11.3 gco 2 Actual passenger numbers and electricity consumption 2012 for each carrier; Emission factor for transport electricity France (53 gco 2 /kwh) for kilometres travelled in France Emission factor for transport electricity Europe (420gCO 2 /kwh) or emission factors for railway electricity for the countries concerned when provided by traction electricity suppliers, for kilometres travelled in other countries.

3 C. Emissions for SNCF Auto-Trains for 2015: car, motorbike or scooter on Auto-Trains are calculated annually for each Origin/Destination offered, using the Ecotransit calculator ( and production data for the previous year: - Average net weight of the load (wagons + vehicles), - Average number of vehicles carried on this Origin/Destination, - Distance travelled. All Auto-trains use electric traction. The emissions for each Origin/Destination available by Auto-Train are detailed in the printed guide also available from the website autotrain.voyages-sncf.com/. D. Emissions for SNCF passengers using road transport in 2015: 1. idbus passenger travelling 1 km idbus 22.8 gco 2 *based on fuel consumption and passenger numbers for idbus 2. TER coaches are displayed in each vehicle. These figures are calculated by the coach company on the basis of actual consumption and passenger numbers. If actual data are not available, applying the methodology guide, these emissions are: Interurban coaches 171 gco 2 l énergie [Ministry of Sustainable Development and Energy] CO 2 information for transport services Methodology Guide Taxis, chauffeured cars, transport on demand Emissions per kilometre for a trip are displayed in the vehicles These are calculated by the owner or company using: - The consumption for the vehicle (make, model, year), the fuel used and the type of journey (urban, non-urban or mixed). Consumption figures for vehicles are available in the guides Conventional fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions produced by the ADEME each year and available on their website. - The emission factors for the various types of road fuel including actual conditions of use of the vehicle and empty journeys, provided in the CO 2 information for transport services Methodology Guide - Ministère du Développement durable et de l énergie, SNCF/DIRECTION DU DEVELOPPEMENT DURABLE 3/5

4 E. Emissions for RATP passengers in 2015 : The website provides passengers in the Île-de-France region with CO 2 information on their journeys, using any of the available transport means: Transilien, RER, Métro, Tram, Bus. The figures used in our calculator for calculating CO 2 emissions for other transport modes are taken from the RATP methodology available on These figures are given here for information: Other urban modes in Île-de-France Métro 3.8 gco 2 Tramway 3.1 gco 2 Bus 94.7 gco 2 F.
